Honiara, Solomon Islands, 3 October 2025 – A Cabinet reshuffle today saw two sitting Members of Parliament reassigned to key ministerial portfolios during a swearing-in ceremony at Government House in Honiara.

Under the reshuffle, Honourable Trevor Hedley Manemahaga, MP for Gao/Bugotu, has been reassigned to the Ministry of National Planning and Development Coordination, while Honourable Rexon Ramofafia, MP for Fataleka, now serves as Minister for Finance and Treasury.
Prime Minister Manele congratulated the two ministers on their new roles, saying: “Some may ask why these changes are necessary. Maintaining a stable Government is essential to deliver meaningful progress. Every decision I make has one purpose: to keep the Government stable and focused on serving our people.”
